Maxillaria notylioglossa xanthina

A rare and striking all-yellow color form of Max. notylioglossa from the cloud forests of Ecuador, producing masses of small flowers simultaneously across the entire plant. The blooms display broad, waxy tepals in uniform chartreuse-yellow tones with a smooth, pointed lip — entirely free of the dark pigmentation found in the typical form, making this a prized collector's selection.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the dense, creeping growth habit.
• Temperature: 54–75°F (12–24°C); an intermediate grower that performs well with good air circulation and stable conditions.
• Humidity: 65–80%; consistent humidity is key for this clumping, multi-growth species.
• Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the mix to partially dry between waterings; avoid prolonged saturation at the root zone.

Additional Notes

Best grown in a wide, shallow pot or basket with a well-draining bark mix to accommodate its spreading habit. An exceptional specimen when in full bloom. Shipped bare root in well-established condition.
